1860 COLT ARMY - Original Colt made 1863
Description: 1860 Colt Army .44, made 1863. Military Model, factory cut for shoulder stock and with military inspector marks. Nice clear markings. Tight as new barrel/frame lock up. Excellent solid perfectly timed action. Bore has all of it's distinct clear rifling with black powder roughness. Metal is a nice aged patina, with some scattered light pitting. Matching numbers, barrel, frame, trigger guard, backstrap and arbor. The cylinder is not matching, but has the proper military inspector marks. This is common for battle used 1860 Colts. After a battle, the young boys, as young as 10 years old, drummers and messengers, were tasked with cleaning revolvers. The most critical part, the cylinder, was cleaned thoroughly in mass in buckets of water, and then mated back with the guns without concern for serial number, if they even knew a number was on the cylinder. This information from a period book on young boys on the front lines of the Civil War. Sold as antique collectible. Buyer must be over 21 years and legal in his state. Insured registered shipping $35. Layaway OK. SOLD Antique: Yes |
